The Russians Have Attacked Georgia? Was Anyone In Atlanta Hurt? I Have Cousins There.

I just can't believe what I'm hearing. Georgia, attacked by Russians! It just doesn't make any sense!

 Out on the campaign he stated, "Right now we are all Georgians."  Or, I had an autistic student whose cousins had moved to Paris.  He was going to go to them over the weekend.  When they got there, he mentioned to his mom, "Geez, I did not know you could drive to Paris."

You should call John McCain for an update.  Out on the campaign he said, "Today we are all Georgians."  Or, I had an autistic student whose cousins had moved to Paris.  He was going to visit them over the weekend.  When they got there, he said to his mom, "Geez, I didn't know you could drive to Paris."    txteacher's Recommendations Oxford Atlas of the World, 14th Edition Amazon List Price: $80.00 Used from: $35.00 Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5(based on 56 reviews) Invest in a world atlas! txteacher 65 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment.

I hope you're kidding. Georgia, the state in the USA, was NOT attacked. The country of Georgia, which used to be part of the Soviet Union, is the Georgia the news is about. Two provinces of Georgia have large ethnic Russian populations. These two provinces are of strategic important to Russia. South Ossetia has a large oil and natural gas pipelines passing through it, which the Russians, particularly their Prime Minister) want in order to dominate oil and gas flow to Europe.(Last year Russia, under the leadership of Vladimir Putin, former KGB, cut off natural gas to the Ukraine because Russia wanted to demonstrate they still have dominance in the region.) The other province, Abkhazia, happens to be a port on the Baltic Sea, which Vladimir Putin would like to have because it is the terminus of the oil and gas pipelines in question. A portion of Georgia?s standing army was in Iraq when Russia invaded. They were assisting in peace-keeping efforts in Iraq. 2,000 Georgian troops(of about 37,000) were released from service in Iraq per a previous agreement with the US, and were returned to Georgia. It must be made clear that the Georgians were the initial aggressors attempting to control a separatist uprising in South Ossetia. The Russians jumped on this "to protect ethnic Russians," but did not stop at the border of South Ossetia. The Russians have taken over much of Georgia, presumably under orders from Putin, and as of today(8/15/08) Russian soldiers were filmed robbing a bank in Gori, which is far inside Georgia, and not part of S. Ossetia or Abkhazia. This is THREE DAYS after the Russian president(a Putin puppet) agreed to a cease-fire and withdrawal of Russian troops from Georgia to their locations on August 6th. This is not happening. Russian troops are doing whatever they want, wherever they want. They are bombing non-miltary targets, forcing native Georgians out of their homes and turning them into refugees.

Atlanta was destroyed. Your cousins are probably dead, from all the bombing and fighting going on there.   My condolences to you and your surviving family.   Macon was hit pretty bad, also.

Atlanta and Savannah were the worst hit.  I suggest you hightail it to Canada at this point.  I can see the smoke and flames from all the way across the pond here in Germany.      Sources say that all of Peachtree Street, Peach Ave, and Peach Blvds are off limits to civilians.  All soldiers currently deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan are now being redeployed to assist in urban combat situations in and near Georgia.  There is no potable drinking water and most food sources have been contaminated with radioactive vodka.  It is highly recommended that everyone stockpile on beer in order to remain hydrated.  Another recommendation is to obtain large quantities of the local "cash crop" to offer to Russian captors.    May God have mercy on your soul.
